During last night's episode of Oxygen's 'The Glee Project,' the final nine contenders performed a rhythmic performance of MC Hammer's 1990 signature song, 'Can't Touch This.' Under the guidance of 'Glee' guest mentor Harry Shum Jr. ('Glee's' Mike Chang) the group was coached on their moves, forcing many of them to face their toughest challenge yet - 'Dance Ability.' Darren Criss ('Glee's' Blaine) returns as a guest mentor in next Sunday's all-new episode. During the episode fans will also be prompted to find a secret word and enter a watch-and-win sweepstakes at Oxygen.com (http://www.thegleeproject.oxygen.com). One lucky winner will win a phone call from their favorite contender. ‘The Glee Project' Contender Call sweepstakes will only be available from 9PM to 1AM ET Sunday evening.

Harry Shum Jr., who was promoted to a GLEE series regular for the upcoming season, was the guest mentor on THE GLEE PROJECT this week.

This week on THE GLEE PROJECT, the contestants were asked to get in touch with their vulnerable side. To help them reach that goal, guest star Dot Marie Jones (Coach Bieste on GLEE) offers her critiques.

During last night's series debut of Oxygen's 'The Glee Project,' the 12 contenders performed an energetic rendition of Katy Perry's mega-hit 'Firework.' Under the tutelage of 'Glee' guest mentor Darren Criss ('Glee's' Blaine), the group was coached on the theme of ‘Individuality' and how to stand out while being true to your personality. At the conclusion of the premiere episode, 'Glee' hopeful Bryce Ross-Johnson (22) of Westlake Village, CA was the first contender to be eliminated. Bryce was tasked with performing Bruno Mars' 'Just the Way You Are' for 'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy as a last chance - but the show must go on! The remaining 11 contenders will face their next ‘Glee'-inspired challenge on Sunday, June 19th at 9pm ET/PT, only on Oxygen.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that there may be more than one GLEE PROJECT finalist making it into Season 3 of Fox's hit show. Casting director Robert Ulrich told THR: 'I do think that all 12 of these kids could not only be on Glee but they will go on to do other things. We will see them all around whether it be in music or in acting, stage or film and theater. I'm hoping that we see more than just the winner on Glee.'
